Determiners 用法

究竟什麼是Determiners？

什麼情況下會用Determiners？

小編為大家整理了Determiners 大全，並附上大量例子！

Determiners 意思

some在這裏發揮了”量化”的作用。

Determiners 文法解說

以下將會分開各種Determiners作解說！

Determiners Articles

眾所週知, article有 a, an ,the

他們的意思都各不相同

Articles：A, An

a 同 an 屬於不定冠詞，它們用於「不指定」的情況，你可能會疑問咩係不指定？當你要「泛指」呢個名詞，而你指稱的內容入面包括左這個名詞入面嘅每一個個體，無一例外的話，就叫「不指定」。那要特別注意 a 跟 an 是用在「可數名詞」前面。例如：

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

一天一蘋果，醫生遠離我。

因為你冇特別指定邊一個蘋果可以令到醫生遠離你，而係「所以」蘋果都可以，只要一日是一個就會有結果，咁你就可以用不指定嘅an。

Articles：The

然而，the 同上面介紹的情況相反，佢係用於「指定」嘅情況下。亦姐係呢個名詞入面唔係指所有個體，而是只有部分，呢個情況下就用 the。例如：

We are sold out of the coffee you want.

我地賣曬您想要嘅果款咖啡。

只係你想要飲嘅果款咖啡買曬，而唔係所有咖啡都買曬，所以:…the coffee you want.

又或者The girl is my classmate.

果個女仔係我嘅同學。

唔係全個世界嘅女仔都係你嘅同學，所以要加 the 黎指定。

Determiners Demonstratives

我們使用指示形容詞 this（單數）和 these（複數）來談論與我們近的人和事：

用that（單數）和those（複數）來談論離我們較遠的人和事：

例句

This photo shows you what an egg tart looks like.

These photos are of the famous Tsing Ma Bridge.

Those photos over there show some popular Chinese dim sum.

What are those round things in that photo?

That was the best anniversary party ever!

Determiners Possessives

我們使用possessive adjectives 和possessive pronouns 來：

顯示誰擁有什麼
談論不同的人或事物之間的關係

例句

Mike’s office is over there.

Our principal is from North America.

That’s my phone.

Sam can’t find his shoes.

Don’t take those CDs — they’re ours!

I think that bag is hers.

Determiners Quantifiers

我們可以使用不同的Quantifiers來談論數量。

Note：

我們在負面意義上使用 little 和 few 來表示不多。

在正面意義上使用 a little 和 a few 來表示不多或不多。

例句

There wasn’t much rain this month.

Tom made many friends at his new school.

There’s little money left.

Few people came to the meeting.

Do we have enough milk?

There aren’t enough seats for everyone.

Marie has a little interest in jazz music.

Arthur has a few friends from Macau.
